Have you ever worked for a company that tells you to bring your full self to work, celebrates authenticity and psychological safety, and then turns around and crushes you with metrics, perfectionism, and burnout? If you find yourself nodding, this episode is for you. Shaun Tinney, a speaker, performance coach, and the author of Practice Everything, joins me for a deep, honest conversation about leadership, workplace culture, and what it really means to live and work with intention. Shaun has spent years guiding individuals and teams through pivotal change across both corporate and creative environments, drawing on psychology, the Enneagram, and a whole lot of lived experience to help people navigate resistance with confidence and clarity. In this interview, Shaun shares his journey from entrepreneurship and high-impact consulting to stepping away from agency life, traveling more than 70,000 miles across the country, and eventually helping shape culture, learning, and development at goodr Sunglasses during a period of rapid growth. Shaun and I talk about the "small" stuff that ends up shaping everything: the mixed messages leaders send (often without realizing it), and the gap between what companies say they value and what actually gets rewarded day to day. This conversation is for leaders, founders, creatives, and anyone who wants to do work that matters without burning out within systems that still run on fear rather than trust. Take your time with this one, grab a notebook, and let it challenge the way you think about performance and The Ripple Effect your daily choices create.

Whether selling is right around the corner or still years away, building with the exit in mind can be the difference between a smooth transition and long-term regret. In this episode of The Exit, Steve sits down with Alex Seydel, a former M&A attorney turned business exit strategist and co-founder of Ripple's Edge Advisors. After working on countless transactions, Alex has seen firsthand why so many founders walk away dissatisfied, not because they sold, but because they sold to the wrong buyer, in the wrong way, without proper preparation. -- Alex Seydel is an M&A attorney turned business exit strategist and the co-founder of Ripple's Edge Advisors, where she helps founders grow with the exit in mind by maximizing value, attractiveness, and readiness long before a deal is on the table. Drawing on years of experience working across complex transactions, Alex partners with business owners to reduce risk, increase transferability, and position their companies for higher-quality exits at stronger multiples. A former Division I soccer player at the University of Iowa, she brings a competitive, disciplined mindset to every engagement, and when she's not talking exits, you can usually find her discussing sports, Lane 8, or hanging out with her Golden Retriever, Thumper.

In this episode, host David Myers interviews Jim Newton, renowned political journalist and UCLA lecturer, on his recent book on musician Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead, the iconic American band.  Newton reflects on his personal and professional pathway to writing about the Dead. He traces his first serious recognition of “Deadhead culture” to the 1982 US Festival, where the band's community stood out sharply against the broader music landscape. The conversation emphasizes the Dead's “unique alchemy”: a convergence of Bay Area time and place, the improvisational ethos, the band's eclectic musical catalogue, and the formative social experimentation of the Acid Tests. Newton argues that the band's unusually porous relationship with its audience, rooted in these early LSD gatherings where the Dead were not the central attraction, helped produce a distinctive form of loyalty and collective identity that endured long after the scene expanded beyond its intimate origins.Newton frames the Dead as culturally radical but not conventionally political, aligning the band more with a bohemian ethic of lived values than an evangelical politics of persuasion. The Dead, Newton suggests, modeled community, freedom, and “collective bliss” as a refuge in both the late 1960s and the Reagan-era 1980s. Turning to Jerry Garcia, Newton offers a sober epitaph: an obsessive musical genius with vast curiosity and a deep resistance to responsibility, ultimately undone by addiction and isolation. Yet the episode closes on the enduring afterlife of the Dead through successor acts and cover bands, arguing that the phenomenon persists because it meets persistent social needs that are captured, for Newton, most powerfully in the song “Ripple.”Jim Newton is a veteran journalist, author and teacher. In 25 years at the Los Angeles Times, Newton worked as a reporter, editor, bureau chief, columnist and, from 2007 through 2010, editor of the editorial pages. He is the recipient of numerous national and local awards in journalism and participated in two staff efforts, coverage of the 1992 riots and the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, that were awarded the Pulitzer Prize. Newton began working at UCLA full-time in early 2015, teaching in Communication Studies and Public Policy and founding Blueprint, a new UCLA magazine addressing the policy challenges facing California and Los Angeles in particular. He serves as the magazine's editor-in-chief. Newton also is a respected author of important works of history including Justice for All: Earl Warren and the Nation He Made, Eisenhower: The White House Years, Worthy Fights: A Memoir of Leadership in War and Peace, and his 2020 release Man of Tomorrow: The Relentless Life of Jerry Brown, and most recently: Here Beside the Rising Tide: Jerry Garcia, the Grateful Dead, and an American Awakening.

I honestly can't believe we are kicking off Season 11 of The Ripple Effect Podcast. This episode is really just me sitting down with you and talking about where this show has been, where it's going, and why I'm more excited about this season than any season we've done before. What started as an idea has turned into something way bigger than I ever imagined, and that's because of you showing up, listening, sharing, and engaging. This show has never been about perfection or overly produced visuals. It's about real conversations, real people, and real lessons that actually matter in your life and your work. Season 11 is all about going deeper. Deeper into trust. Deeper into relationships. Deeper into leadership, career growth, confidence, imposter syndrome, and how we actually build meaningful connections in a world that keeps trying to push us behind screens. We're going to have CEOs, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and everyday Ripplers on the show this season. You'll hear the wins, the struggles, the mistakes, and the lessons learned the hard way. We're also going to talk about AI, the future of work, career changes, side hustles, and what it really takes to build trust and connection when everything feels fast, automated, and transactional. One thing I'm asking of you this year is to not just listen passively. I want this to be a two-way conversation. Go back and listen to the episodes again. Pull out the nuggets. Take some notes. Think about how these ideas apply to your life. Then come back and tell me what hit home, what questions you still have, or what you wish I had asked. This podcast works best when the Ripples don't just go out, but also come back.

The end of the year brings more than holiday obligations for healthcare practice owners—it often brings exhaustion that ripples through your entire practice. When you're running on empty, your team feels it, and suddenly everyone's pretending their way through December while practice culture slowly fractures.  In this episode, Tracy reflects on meaningful wins from 2025—including CME accreditation, partnerships with medical associations, and the Joy of Medicine Retreat—while addressing the reality of seasonal stress in healthcare practices. She shares the story of Dr. Cheri's OBGYN practice, where one honest team huddle revealed that everyone was drowning separately, each convinced they were the only one struggling.  Tracy explores why most January goals fail by mid-February and what actually works instead: smaller, repeatable systems that fit into how you already operate. She introduces the Energy Audit Workbook for tracking what depletes versus restores you, and discusses why rest is foundation, not reward.  Looking ahead to 2026, Tracy shares two opportunities to build sustainable practice growth: the Community Open House on January 13th and the Future Proofing Healthcare Leadership Roundtable on January 27th.  Read the full show notes, memorable quotes, and key takeaways.

This is a solo episode, and it's just me talking honestly about the show, the journey, and what podcasting has turned into for me. Over the last couple of years, I've gotten a lot more comfortable doing this. Not because I figured out some secret formula, but because I stopped trying to sound polished and started showing up as myself. This episode is really about authenticity, building real connections, and why I believe the best podcasts feel more like conversations than interviews. I talk about podcast growth, not in terms of downloads or numbers, but in terms of trust, relationships, and consistency. I share why I don't script interviews, why I don't overprepare, and how focusing on people instead of performance has changed everything for me as a podcast host. If you're a podcaster, creator, entrepreneur, or just someone trying to find your voice, there's a lot in here about confidence, curiosity, and letting things unfold naturally. Podcasting has become my home base, a place where leadership, personal growth, and meaningful conversation all come together. I'm incredibly grateful for the guests who've trusted me, the relationships that have grown beyond the mic, and the listeners who've stuck around and supported the show. This episode is really a thank you and a bit of a reflection on where I am and where I think this is headed. If this conversation resonates with you, share it with someone who might get something out of it. That's how Ripples start. Thanks for being here. Let's Ripple!!!

It's about alignment — and most leaders underestimate how brutal, complex, and consequential that shift really is.In this episode of The Business of Alignment, AJ breaks down what actually changes when you stop leading yourself and start leading others. Not just direct reports — but energy, trust, decision velocity, partner relationships, board confidence, brand perception, and long-term outcomes you may never immediately see.This is a candid, unfiltered look at leadership reality:• Why one missed conversation can unravel years of trust• How lack of transparency creates hesitation, attrition, and stalled decision-making• What it really means to “peer around the corner” as a leader• Why alignment is not a soft skill — it's a risk management disciplineFor CEOs, CHROs, CFOs, COOs, and senior leaders navigating scale, complexity, and pressure in 2025 and beyond, this episode introduces a practical mental framework to evaluate decisions before they ripple across people, partners, customers, and the business itself.Alignment isn't optional. It's the difference between momentum and quiet chaos.

Thank you to our sponsors! Uniswap Mantle Hosts Ram Ahluwalia, Austin Campbell, and Chris Perkins dig into why interest rates may not fall as quickly as markets hope, why oil demand could surprise to the upside, and how retail keeps buying every dip—even while consumer confidence hits new lows. The trio also breaks down the growing collision between TradFi and crypto: whether banks can compete with blockchain-native distribution, how BlackRock's staked ETH ETF filing could reshape the market, and how yields on Ethereum and Solana represent a brand-new financial primitive. Plus, they examine Ripple's controversial raise, Citadel's push to regulate DeFi, and why major incumbents are now in a frantic race to choose their crypto “dance partners.” Hosts: Ram Ahluwalia, CFA, CEO and Founder of Lumida Austin Campbell, NYU Stern professor and founder and managing partner of Zero Knowledge Consulting Christopher Perkins, Managing Partner and President of CoinFund Links: Unchained:  BlackRock Files S-1 for Staked ETH ETF Berachain Kept Secret a $25 Million Refund Right to a Brevan Howard Fund CoinDesk:  Citadel Challenges DeFi Framework in Letter to SEC, Sparking Industry Outrage Bloomberg:  Wall Street Hedged Big Crypto Bet in $500 Million Ripple Deal (XRP) Bitcoin Options Show Traders Hunkering Down for Crypto Winter Timestamps:

This episode of Crypto Town Hall on Exit 10 focuses on major regulatory and institutional shifts in crypto, the real meaning behind headline investments, macroeconomic trends, and the rise of user-friendly DeFi products. The main goal is to unpack recent developments—such as the CFTC accepting Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC as derivatives collateral, and the true structure of Ripple's $500 million Wall Street deal—while examining their potential long-term impact on crypto markets, institutions, and end users. Later, a deep dive into EtherFi showcases how DeFi is building alternatives to traditional banking services, aiming for wide, user-friendly adoption.
